For me, the best thing I ever did was to buy a Lee 4-Hole Classic Turret Press and start loading my own .45 ACP. I find it much much cheaper than buying .45 ACP at the store. And brass is plentiful for me.
Now I am in the process of buying an AK-47. Of course it shoots 7.62x39mm
I know nothing about this round. Is range brass plentiful like the .45 ACP? I am thinking much of the 7.62x 39 range brass might be steel, and I don't think reloading steel in my Lee press would work real well?
Can I save a lot of money by reloading my own brass like I do with the .45 ACP?
I would think buying new 7.62x39 (even cheap Tulla ammo) is still going to cost more than a box of cheap Walmart .45 ACP ammo. I haven't price compared 7.62x39 against the store price for .45 ACP yet.
Thanks,
Ron
